ai rollouts
that humans
actually adopt.

Most AI rollouts change nothing. I lead the kind that do. I'm Emily Green. 15 years of behavior change and learning systems for Fortune 500s. Now leading AI programs the same way. The whole caboodle.

approach

the whole caboodle.

Where strategy, media, and behavioral science converge. Three methods, applied in order, borrowed from anthropology, behavioral science, and editorial media. Not from the LMS vendor catalog.

ethnographic research

I observe what people actually do before I design anything.

Before a single storyboard, I study what people actually do in their workplace context. This anthropological approach ensures training addresses real behavior, not assumptions. I watch. I listen. I ask the uncomfortable questions.

  • contextual inquiry · stakeholder interviews · artifact analysis
  • global & compliance: localization, wcag, regulatory standards
  • curriculum architecture: outcome-driven learning paths
behavioral strategy

I design for behavior change. Then I measure it.

Action Mapping for design. A layered Kirkpatrick-Phillips evaluation model for measurement, from learner reaction all the way to demonstrated ROI for the business. Nudges, motivation design, habit loops, AI integration. The thinking is the job.

  • action mapping · kirkpatrick-phillips · choice architecture
  • measurement instrumented before launch, not after
  • ai as a field tool, never as a substitution
creative media

Scalable learning systems, not one-off decks.

Interaction design, video, motion graphics, visual storytelling. Design systems and media libraries and interactive experiences. Every asset is built to evolve with your organization, so the training investment future-proofs itself.

  • remotion · three.js · storyline · rise · editorial web
  • single source of truth asset systems
  • accessibility and retention measured, not assumed
design meets measurement

Every engagement ladders up through the same four rungs. The business goal lines up with the Kirkpatrick level, and a real client proves the row.

caboodle labs

where behavior design meets ai experimentation.

Personal projects, prototypes, and proofs-of-concept. Each one exploring whether AI can solve a real L&D workflow problem, not just build features.

ai prototype · applied llm + rag

greenroom: a development copilot

A development copilot built around behavior change, not just content. Real RAG with citations, an agentic routing loop, and a 22-case eval harness. Scoped, built, and evaluated solo.

inline stakeholder review system

A feedback workspace built directly into a client landing page. Pins, color-coded reviewers, a slide-out panel grouping comments by section with resolve tracking. No email threads. No annotated screenshots.

claude code · vibe coding view experiment → ai prototype · feedback design

emotion-aware feedback system

Exploring how learner emotional state can inform the type, tone, and timing of feedback. Self-reported check-ins plus adaptive response patterns, so feedback lands, not just lands accurately.

content ops dashboard

An entire content operations stack automated with Claude Code. Daily briefs, Canva carousel generation, research pipelines, analytics reports. Every piece maps to a problem learning designers face daily.

programmatic video & content automation

Remotion templates plus MCP-driven Canva generation. Template to published content with no manual design work. Testing whether programmatic media can replace one-off production for L&D teams.

about emily

15 years designing for behavior change.
one stubborn conviction: ai programs fail without it.

I started caboodle design because I was tired of seeing organizations pour resources into programs that checked a box but never changed a behavior. The same trap is happening with AI rollouts right now. My work sits at the intersection of behavioral science, AI program leadership, and learning systems. It's the whole caboodle.

Send the shape of the problem. I'll send back whether training is actually the answer, and what might work better if it isn't.
